Yahweh, Day 119

Day 119, Yahweh: A New Day

"Pay attention, heavens,
and I will speak; listen, earth, to the words of my mouth. 2 Let my teaching
fall like rain and my word settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass and
showers on tender plants. 3 For I will proclaim the Lord's name. Declare the
greatness of our God! 4 The Rock-His work is perfect; all His ways are entirely
just. A faithful God, without prejudice, He is righteous and true."

Deuteronomy 32:1-5 (Holman
Christian Standard Bible)

Verse 2 pictures a new
day.God has designed creation in such a
way that with each day ... is newness.

A biblical day actually began
at sunset ... not sunrise. Think on this ... this evening as the sun sets in
the western sky ... the current day is past and God has designed that our new
day begins with rest from our labors.

God's new day begins with
rest.Let this fall like rain and settle
like dew on your heart.The
"dew" of Yahweh settles in the night ... refreshing and life giving.

As the Psalmist shares in
Psalm 63:6-7, "When, on my bed, I think of You, I meditate on You during
the night watches because You are my help; I will rejoice in the shadow of Your
wings." (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

It is in The Name.

Intercessory Prayer:Oh Father, You make all things new!And Your restoring grace works in our hearts
during each new day … refreshing and invigorating … that we might proclaim Your
greatness and goodness to all of creation.Thank You!In Jesus Name.Amen.

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is
the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow’"(Mary Anne Radmacher).

God gives us daily opportunities to live for Him. We may
not always be as victorious as we would like to be, but He gives us the ability
to start over daily and to find ourselves in a right relationship with Him (1
John 1:9).

God, thank You for giving us multiple opportunities to
try to get it right. May we do better today than we did yesterday. Amen.

Yahweh, Day 118

Day 118, Yahweh: Preaching To Creation

"Pay attention, heavens,
and I will speak; listen, earth, to the words of my mouth. 2 Let my teaching
fall like rain and my word settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass and
showers on tender plants. 3 For I will proclaim the Lord's name. Declare the
greatness of our God! 4 The Rock-His work is perfect; all His ways are entirely
just. A faithful God, without prejudice, He is righteous and true."

Deuteronomy 32:1-5 (Holman
Christian Standard Bible)

Moses here appeals to all
creation to listen to the message of Yahweh The Rock.This is in reference to the tablets of stone
on which the Law of God was given … the 10 Commandments etched in stone.The commandments of Yahweh … perfect and just
… and the great wonder is that Yahweh the Creator is personally involved with
and in His creation … He has touched us.

It is in The Name.

Intercessory
Prayer:Oh Father!You are involved with all of Your creation …
and with each of us.We are humbled at
Your presence and attention.In Jesus
Name.Amen.

"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5
minutes to ruin it. If you think about

that, you'll do things differently"(Warren Buffet)

The Bible speaks a great truth in the statement: "A
good name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favor than silver
and gold" (Proverbs 22:1). In light of that truth, we are to live today,
building our legacy for the days to come.

God, in these days where the world’s values are movable,
help us to remain steadfast on walking with You. Amen.

I hope a thought provoking read. One of my favorite lines is from the Princess Bride movie when the Dread Pirate Roberts is asked, "Who are you?" His response is the response I share with you, "No one of consequence."
